Ventilation was never a matter for 52 in most cases, it happened naturally as the wind blew and the air in rooms was replaced on a regular basis. With the new, draught, proof buildings this no longer happened, particularly since c

16、entral heating made it 53 to have an air flow for any reason. This has given birth to the 54 of indoor climate control. The result was stale air.

46、In this part there is a passage with four questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions or complete the statements as requited. The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: "

47、;Store in the refrigerator." In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all

48、kinds .of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried

49、 techniques already existed-natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price. Consequently, most of the wo

50、rld's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy counties with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-coo

51、led space inside an artificially-heated house- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge. The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant, If you don't believe me, try it yourself, invest

52、in a food cabinet and mm off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburger, but at least you'll get rid of that terrible hum.72. By saying "in my fridgeless Fifties childhood" the author means that there was73. How did people usually deal with bread and milk unfinished?74. Accord

53、ing to the author's point of view, refrigerators are supposed to be Used in the place where75. The author suggests that you should next winter to protect environment.(D) Financial crisis is on its way to you. The financial crisis leads to many wage cuts, layoffs and bankruptcies. In the first ha

54、lf of 2008, 60,000 - 70,000 small and medium-sized enterprises went out of business in China. Many migrant workers are unemployed and return to their homes. In the year of 2009, there will be 6.10 million college graduates seeking for jobs around the country. As a result, college graduates are doome

55、d to experience "job-hunting winter". In the face of such employment environment, how should graduates get employed? How should they choose professions? For such serious problems, schools, students and parents should take some corresponding measures. Above all, we should 10ok at the financ

56、ial crisis in a rational way. In China, most of the enterprises that face bankruptcies in this financial crisis are in the industries of high pollution or high energy consumpti0n. Therefore, these enterprises' collapse ends in failure, which is the development trend. The financial crisis would have a bad influence on many Chinese enterprises, but it also
